'How do we deal with Mbappe?' The France superstar missed a sitter but wasn't down for long 🔥
After some fine work by Griezmann, the ball was squared to Mbappe who blazed his effort over despite facing an open goalHowever, he won’t want to see his missed chance at the end of the first-half again., Mbappe was passed the ball by Antoine Griezmann and had the seemingly simply task of tapping into an empty net.
